Manufacturer's Description (December 10, 2008)
Fender
Starcaster Strat Packs deliver a great-sounding, sleek-looking
Stratocaster electric guitar paired with a compact but still-mighty
guitar amplifier and a host of essential accessories. This Strat Pack
includes a 3-tone sunburst Stratocaster guitar, strings, picks, a
strap, Squier SP-10 amp, a 10-foot cable, a tuner, a gig bag, guitar
stand, and an instructional DVD.
The highly versatile Stratocaster guitar offers legendary Fender tone
combined with classic styling, and it's suited for all styles of music.
It features a 22-fret fingerboard with dot position inlays, three
single-coil pickups with 5-way switching, sealed die-cast tuners for
consistent tuning stability, chrome hardware and a three-ply white
pickguard. The synchronous tremolo bridge can be used for subtle
shimmery manipulation of chords or hard-core whammy-bar excursions.
You'll also get a wide range of tones from the single volume and dual
tone controls. The Squier SP-10 amp controls include volume,
treble, bass, and an overdrive on/off button that delivers tube-like
tone. A headphone output allows silent practice. It features a 6-inch
speaker, 10-watt drive, and a tough, textured vinyl exterior.

Perfect!!
Its just amazingly perfect for playing at home!!
It includes everything. And I mean everything that you might need.
Its not even mentioned in the product description that a headset is
also included! Which is totally what I needed as I play it for hours
and hours and I should not be disturbing others. Amp is cool, its loud
enough for home use. It has Bass and Treble effects as well which is
very cool. A guitar stand is also included which makes it easy to keep
the guitar when not in use.
About the guitar itself, it needed a bit of tuning when I took it
out of the box, but that was again very easy with the chromatic tuner
provided. After that tuning its just been sounding inch perfect!
Everyone around me is in love with this guitar. Trust me it won't
let you down. A fender is always a good choice! Specially if it comes
with all the accessories for a really great price!
About amazon, very fast service, cheers!!
I paid for standard shipping only. And I got in something like 60 hours!
holding up really well
For someone just starting out, this is an excellent buy.
I bought mine in 2004 when this package first hit the market. Still
works great. The action (the space between the strings & fretboard)
has held up well. The electronics have held up on mine, although the
one I bought was made in Indonesia; not sure if they are still made
there or in China.
Everything that came with it is still working great (tuner, strap, cord, amp, gig bag).
When it is new, it goes out of tune quite frequently, not only from
the strings being new; but also since this is a $200 bundle, the
hardware is not what you'll find on a $700 Strat.
My musician friends all agree that the Starcaster sounds and plays
close enough to a Stratocaster that you could do ameteur performances
with it; but doubt that you'll ever see a Starcaster at a paid gig.
If the Strat style is not your thing, check out the First Act Paul Westerberg signature model.
Now that I've made the jump to another guitar, I still use this one
when I travel and have taught myself how to adjust the neck, action,
and change hardware. So it is not only great to learn to play, but also
great for learning how to maintain, adjust, upgrade, and repair a
guitar.
Fun and at an affordable price.
I hafta say. . . .i was nervous. Ive never owned a guitar. I bought
this package because ive been wanting to learn how to play for some
time now. This thing came with more than i thought i was going to get.
Guitar and Strap - Amp - Cable - Picks - Digital Tuner (helped me
greatly being that i know absolutely nothing about tuning a guitar) -
Headphones - Fender String Pack - Guitar Stand ( only thing i didnt
like. . .the stand was a bit small. I bought a tall stand from Railroad
Bazaar for 20 dollars and its alot safer.) - How To DVD. This things a
blast . . . Was playing riff from Seven Nation Army by The White
Stripes within 2 hours of ever picking up this guitar. Only problem. .
. now my fiance wants one. . .oh well.
